What the Hell Did I Do Wrong?!

Hong Yuan's proclamation resounded throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness in an instant.

It also startled quite a few beings.

Although the Heavenly Dao had yet to manifest, they still managed to deduce information about Hong Yuan.

This was also because Hong Yuan had not concealed his own presence.

And through their deductions, they came to understand Hong Yuan's identity.

"Hong Yuan?! Who is this? Pangu's younger brother?!"

"Does Pangu even have a younger brother?!"

In some corner of the Primordial Wilderness, a mass of pure, extreme demonic qi suddenly erupted violently.

"Damn it, where did this Hong Yuan come from? Why did he suddenly emerge into the world?! I haven't even completed my Form Transformation yet!!"

Elsewhere, a hollow willow swayed gently in the wind.

It muttered to itself: "Hong Yuan?! I wonder whether his emergence is a blessing or a curse. No, this old Daoist must make preparations!"

A colossal earthworm, stretching hundreds of millions of zhang in length, also felt an inexplicable pressure.

"No, I must hasten my emergence!"

With that, it picked up a small fragment of a mysterious shard beside it and continued to contemplate it.

If any of the surviving Demon Gods saw this object, they would be utterly shocked.

Wasn't this the Jade Plate of Creation?!

And within the Hong Yuan Hall, the gaze of the Great Dao fell upon this place.

That gaze no longer held its former grandeur and solemnity, but was instead gentle.

In an instant, divine light descended from the heavens upon every corner of the Hong Yuan Realm.

This divine light transformed into a rain of radiance, nourishing every part of the Hong Yuan Realm.

Countless plants and living beings manifested because of it, beginning to grow rapidly in the blink of an eye.

Before long, towering trees had already grown tall.

Facing the favor bestowed by the Great Dao, they continuously waved their branches and leaves, as if in joy and exultation.

And those living beings, with devout gazes, knelt and prostrated themselves toward the Hong Yuan Hall at the center of the world.

As if on a pilgrimage.

Within the Hong Yuan Hall, Hong Yuan also made a respectful bow toward the Great Dao.

"Hong Yuan thanks you, Father."

Vaguely, all living beings in the world seemed to see the Great Dao nod kindly and benevolently.

But after Hong Yuan performed his bow, his eyes couldn't help but shift slyly.

So he tentatively asked: "Father, you see, your child once heard from somewhere that in some places, after a child's coming-of-age ceremony, the father always prepares some gifts. Look, your child has now achieved the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin. Shouldn't you do something?"

"Boom!"

The moment Hong Yuan finished speaking, a terrifyingly powerful Great Dao Tribulation Lightning suddenly struck at his feet.

This bolt of lightning instantly froze time in the entire Hong Yuan Realm for a single moment.

All living beings felt as if they had seen the most fearsome existence in the world.

Their entire minds trembled uncontrollably.

At that moment, only one thought filled their minds.

"Your Eminence, please don't mess around—we're terrified!"

They were afraid that Hong Yuan would anger the Great Dao and get them all struck dead.

They had only just been born, and before they could even finish celebrating, they would be sent back to be remade?

In the great hall, Hong Yuan looked at the lightning bolt that had just fallen—seemingly grand and imposing, yet actually harmless—and couldn't help but curl his lip.

"How stingy."

But he had to admit, even he had been startled by that Great Dao Tribulation Lightning just now.

But after seeing that the lightning was merely all show and no substance, at most just making a loud noise, He couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

Hearing Hong Yuan's complaint, the Great Dao could no longer hold back.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning directly struck Hong Yuan's body.

"Ugh~"

Hong Yuan was struck squarely, his entire body instantly turning pitch black, looking utterly disheveled. He immediately broke into a sprint.

But no matter where Hong Yuan appeared, a tribulation lightning bolt always landed directly on his head.

The injury wasn't serious, but the humiliation was immense.

This sight made all the living beings in the entire Hong Yuan Realm even more terrified. The vegetation curled up tightly, not daring to spread a single leaf.

As for the other creatures, they directly dug holes and buried themselves inside.

Hiding and trembling in fear.

I saw nothing, don't strike me!

Inside the Hong Yuan Great Hall.

"Father, stop striking! I was wrong, I was wrong!!"

Hong Yuan ran while apologizing in terror, his attitude utterly sincere.

After hearing Hong Yuan's apology, the Great Dao finally withdrew the tribulation lightning and stopped striking Hong Yuan.

It merely cast a faint glance at Hong Yuan before departing.

But before leaving, it still dropped a spiritual pool beside the Ten Spiritual Roots.

Hong Yuan shrank his head, only slowly straightening up after sensing that the Great Dao had left.

Feeling the newly appeared spiritual pool, Hong Yuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.

With a mere wave of his hand, the dishevelment on his body vanished instantly.

He once again regained his previous ethereal demeanor.

The tribulation lightning the Great Dao had sent down at most made him look a bit messy; it had no real effect at all.

In fact, after taking that beating, Hong Yuan felt that his physical body's toughness had actually improved quite a bit.

After the Great Dao left, Hong Yuan slowly swept his gaze across all the living beings of the Hong Yuan Realm.

His tone was calm: "Ten thousand years from now, I shall preach the Great Dao on Hong Yuan Mountain for one Yuan Hui. Any living being that has awakened intelligence may come and listen!"

In an instant, Hong Yuan's voice spread throughout the entire Hong Yuan Realm.

At that moment, all the living beings in the Hong Yuan Realm finally broke free from the terror of moments ago and were overwhelmed with immense joy.

They continuously kowtowed and paid homage in the direction of Hong Yuan.

Hong Yuan was quite satisfied with the reaction of the living beings in the Hong Yuan Realm.

Although these beings were far inferior in origin to figures like the Three Pure Ones and the Ancestral Witches, the advantage was that they had emerged early.

After all, at this time, even Hongjun and Yang Mei had likely not yet appeared in the world, let alone the Three Pure Ones.

Moreover, the Hong Yuan Realm needed some servants to manage things, and using beings born within the realm itself was still the better choice.

The only downside was that these beings were far too weak in cultivation.

Most were barely at the Mystic Immortal realm.

What a damn shame.

But it wasn't their fault—they had no heaven-defying origins to speak of, and they were merely unintentionally awakened by the Great Dao. Besides, most of the divine rain the Great Dao had sent down was absorbed by the Hong Yuan Realm itself.

Just managing to awaken intelligence was already decent.

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed.

Though ten thousand years was a short time, it was enough for Hong Yuan's cultivation to stabilize firmly at the second heaven of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

His overall strength was enough to rival a fifth-heaven Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

As for the laws within his body, over a dozen of them had been comprehended to the second heaven of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, matching his cultivation level.

Hong Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

At the foot of Hong Yuan Mountain, three thousand living beings were quietly waiting.

Among them were animals, spirits, and spiritual plants, all in various forms.

It was a veritable pandemonium of shapes and appearances.

But at this moment, none of these beings were quarreling. Without exception, they all stayed silently at the mountain's base, their faces filled with reverence, afraid that even the slightest sound might displease the honored one atop the mountain.
